Removing the grub or lilo boot loader is fairly easy.
Boot from your windows cd and enter the recovery counsel and log in to your windows.
At the command prompt type
Fixmbr and press enter reboot and the system will boot straight into windows.

Recovering the hdd space and the partition is a little more difficult depending on your Suse install.
If you installed Suse to a separate hdd then it’s pretty easy
Just disconnect your windows drive, boot from a win98 floppy, fdisk and format the Suse drive.

If you installed Suse to the same hdd as windows it can get a little tricky to recover the partition and space.
Your best bet at this point would be to get a partitioning program like Partition magic.

I have only one 250gig hardrive to install Suse on.

do i really need to use a program that expensive?

Are there any free programs available? I don't want to spend $70.00 on a program I may never use, this is still just an experiment for me.

also- you sounded like you thought that i had alreday installed suse and was trying to get rid of it, but I have not, i just started downloading it and researching about it. I just want to know everything about it, before I start messing up my computer.

the more I think the more questions I have:
If I delete and reformat the suse partition will my computer act like it did before I had a partition? or will I have I end up with two seperated areas on my hd? (stuff on one side is unreachable by the other)

also, about removing the bootloader- should I do that after or before I delete the Suse Partition? I would think after because if I did it before, my computer wouldn't know what to boot into, or would always boot into the same hd, am I correct?
